I know there are hijabis in America, but they get stared at like they're aliens. Unless they're in a densely populated Muslim area. Do you wear hijab Laila?

Laila,
Wearing the hijab is not easy. I speak French, English and Spanish as if they were my first languages. And when people see me for example at a store purchasing something, they won't help me. The minute I have to speak and they hear that I am super Canadian, their mouths usually drop, then they help me. They assume hijabis are complete FOBs. But, I inshAllah and removing a lot of stereotypes, on step at a time.

I think the most shocking was my job. I starting wearing hijab one year ago, when doing interviews to get a teaching job. I made so much duah that Allah would help me. I got a job. The first week we do a parent night, and the parents come to meet the teachers. They were all like, :o woaaaah a hijabi teacher! Most of them were frozen. But since I am so good with the kids (The kids call me the best teacher in the school), the parents came around and started respecting me and appreciating me. Alhamdulillah I am glad I did this, because thats something like 400 people who will think twice when they see a hijabi woman and not treat her differently. :D
